Minnesota’s favorite piano man, Phil Thompson, returns to Chanhassen Dinner Theatres with a brand-new holiday show making its debut in the Fireside Theatre! For many of us, Christmas is a time for family and friends to gather around the piano—and this show does just that.

After years of performing his popular Billy & Elton: The Hits concert, Phil now brings his own original arrangements of holiday favorites—all centered around the piano—such as “Wonderful Christmastime” (Paul McCartney), “Step Into Christmas” (Elton John), “Driving Home for Christmas” (Chris Rea), “Hallelujah” (Leonard Cohen), “Wintersong” (Sara Bareilles) and “This Christmas” (Donny Hathaway). The show also features touching piano performances choreographed with video, including “Christmas Time Is Here” (A Charlie Brown Christmas) and “Walking in the Air” (The Snowman).

Phil will be joined by an incredible eight-piece band, including two-time South Dakota Rock & Roll Music Hall of Famer John Bertsch on saxophone, Jeff Perry on guitar and special guest vocalist Tristana Ward.
